66513483K902 Kenmore Dishwasher - Instructions

Removed required hardware and dishwasher from undercounter mount. Turned dishwasher on its front and removed the old motor. Installed the new motor and tested for function. Installed once test was successful.

Looked under machine, saw wire going to heater was burned off.Seal on heater failed, water leaked onto terminal, shorted and burned, ruined plastic terminal nut.Replaced heater and wire terminal, and nut, took minutes, works great.

put new hose on, very easy.

easy as long as you have the right tool to take the panel off, maybe they could include one for people who don't have a good selection of tools. Thankfully we did.

I took the unit apart to find out what was making the loud noise and found the seal on the main pump had been leaking ito the bearing on the motor.

I opened yutube and noted the tips on how to fix specific problems with my dishwasher. That "steve" guy was very helpful. I tested the old bi-metal fuse with no flow and ordered a new replacement through partselect. The part arrived in one day and was fitted quickly. I used the teat meter to confirm that the fuse was ok before I installed it. The only problem that I had was identifying the part and number from a diagram which I did not have.

Removed the old tines by pushing out the clips on the end and then installed the new tines and applied clips - took 10 minutes worked slick and the washer basket looks to be brand.

Turn off breaker to dishwasher.
Remove lower basket.
Drain any water using a wet vac.
Remove bottom cover plate. Should be 2 plastic screws using flat head screwdriver.
Should be able to reach pump. Turn counter clockwise to remove.
Disconnect plug wire on pump.
Install new pump by turning clock wise.
Reattach wire plug.
Run a wash cycle with empty dishwasher and check for leaks.
Replace cover plate.
Done.

Snapped the new stops on. It took about 2 minutes.

First of all I appreciate the instructions provided by this site when I selected the part I needed! The installation was so easy. I popped the end caps off of the top rack guides and removed the top rack. I reach in and popped the clips holding the top sprayer bar and gently pulled down on the sprayer bar enough to place the spinner button in the top of the sprayer bar. Then pressed the spinner on the bottom of the sprayer bar into the button I place in the top of the sprayer bar and reattached the sprayer bar to the clips. Put the top rack back on the guides and replaced the guide caps and it was finished. Easy fix thanks to this site great instructions!

replaced the valve

Removed the bottom plate/cover. Unscrew top from bracket. Lucky,had just enough room to pull washer out. Only 6 in. Sleeve had broken off. Needle nose plyers to unhook spring. Slide sleeve over hinge. Hard Part///. Pull spring back into place. with door shut. good luck.

Got on line at PartSelect and provided the requested Model and Serial numbers. I also used YouTube to "armchair" diagnose the symptoms and reviewed several suggested fixes. Our "touch panel" containing all the control buttons had deteriorated over the years, and I speculated that this panel could be the problem. Since the dishwasher is a few years old and has had heavy use, I also assumed that the thermal sensor would be bad, or at least at the end of its life. Since one LED on the control panel still worked, I knew the unit had power going through it. So I removed the upper latching mechanism and touch panel screws and pulled the panel apart to inspect it for signs of burning, corrosion and possible deterioration. The electronics looked good so I cut the power at my main household electrical panel and proceeded to disassemble and unsnap the inside covers. Then I disconnected two electrical connectors and carefully unfastened the electronics ribbon. I snipped two wires leading to the thermal fuse, replaced them with a new sensor (spliced the two wire feeders with electric nuts) and put that back in place. Then I snapped the new touch control panel back together, replaced the protective cover, and the screws I had removed. I re-energized the house electric panel and-- WALA --the dishwasher sprung back to life! I'm probably slow and methodical, but it took me about 30 minutes to disassemble and reassemble the unit with the new parts. It's great to have the machine back in service, and the tab was only about $160.

Removed old tine rows and replaced with the new parts. No tools were needed. Each was replaced one at a time so the old ones could serve as a model for how the new ones were inserted and attached. Not much more complicated than changing a light bulb. Parts appear to be good original equipment quality but quite pricy for these very simple pieces.

You only need to pull it out about 6 to 8 inches and you don’t need to disconnect anything to slide it on
